Recent observations of the rotation curve of M31 show a rise of the outer part that cannot be understood in terms of standard dark matter models or perturbations of the galactic disk by M31's satellites. Here, we propose an explanation of this dynamical feature based on the influence of the magnetic field within the thin disk. We have considered

Presented are the results of a large and deep optical-near-infrared multi-epoch survey of the Praesepe open star cluster using data from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Galactic Clusters Survey. Multiple colour-magnitude diagrams were used to select potential members and proper motions were used to assign levels of membership

Coordinates (J2000) and JHK photometry are given for the 493 sources detected with PANIC on Baade Telescope in an area of 111"x111" centred on G85.40+0.00 as well as photometry in the four IRAC bands measured on archive frames of the same area. (2 data files).

We give an overview of a project aiming to identify new eclipsing post common envelope binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This work focuses on the methodology used to identify such systems, describes the follow-up observations and reports on the results obtained so far.

Context. The dark cloud Lynds 723 (L723) is a low-mass star-forming region where one of the few known cases of a quadrupolar CO outflow has been reported. Two recent works have found that the radio continuum source VLA 2, towards the centre of the CO outflow, is actually a multiple system of young stellar objects (YSOs). Several line-emission
